    After reading reviews on here, I thought I'd give it a try. Definitely sticking to my Cover Girl Lash Blast though! Nothing beats their brush.

    I found the L'Oreal double extend brushes clumped really easily and it was hard to get full coverage (over the first white step). I just ended up with a big gunky mess on my eyes.

    I have been using this for a few months now, It works great on my little lashes. Makes them look big and dramatic. The only problem I encountered(probably out of my own laziness) is the way the caps close. The first time I used it I didn't realize that you really had to close the caps tight....and left it for a day and it got all clumpy and had to buy a new one. I did learn after that, but I'm very used to lids that are simple and just turn very easily. That was the only problem I had with it. Other than that I'm totally in love with it. Not only can you wear it on rainy days and in snowy days, it makes you look great.

    The one advice I should add to this product is that it can get a bit clumpy when using the white side just make sure you are starting from the base of your lash and going up from there and if it starts to look a bit clumpy go back to the base and wiggle it a little on the way up and it should smooth it out. I find that works with any mascara. Also make sure that you are doing this before it drys up.

    I have found the price to be coming down on this product making it an even better buy.
    It does what it says. i already have long lashes but wanted more! and to fill them out. It does take a bit of practice to make sure you cover the white coat fully with the black. Washes off like a dream. No smudges or streaks.
    My only negative was I found the black side started drying up quickly - way before the white side.i ususally get a longer life out of other mascaras.

    This mascara amazed me the first time I put it on! I love how it extends my lashes like crazy, though I'll only use it on days that I'm going for the natural look because I love how easy it comes off with warm water. It actually looks like your lashes are coming off but fear not :)

    There's a two step application but I don't find that it takes any longer than just applying regular mascaras. I highly recommend it :)

    I absolutely love this product! It gives you the look of false eye lashes without the aftermatch of taking them off. The product makes my eye lashes look amazing. The best part is it doesn't smudge or run at all until its time to take it off. The tubes just come off with water too. There is no irritation with my contacts which is a huge bonus!! The only bad part about it, is sometimes the white (primer) is visible, so sometmes i have to reapply another coat. Other than that, I love this product, great price and does its job well.

    This is a really great lenghtening mascara. As with any mascara, it is difficult to guage just how much it “extends” your lashes. I would hesitate to say they were doublly as long as usual, but they were certainly noticably longer. Lets put it this way, I wear glasses and my lashes don’t usually touch them, but with this mascara the tips definitely brush up against the lenses. I, like others have mentioned, was hesitant to try a primer mascara duo thinking that it would be too fiddly and time consuming, however it is no more time consuming than putting on two coats of mascara.

    Like others have mentioned washing it off is amazingly easy – you simply wet your lashes and smooth them off. Misschickie is right, it looks as though your lashes are coming off, but that is simply the tubes slipping off your lashes. No raccoon eyes or mascara residue after you cleanse!

    I tend to shy away from lengthening mascaras because I prefer the drama that volumizing formulas add, but this mascara did not disappoint me in the drama department. On its own it is beautiful and in fact, when coupled with a coat of my go-to Cover Girl Last Blast or Maybelline Colossal over top, it looked a lot like falsies. My lashes were ridiculously long, very black and nice and plump, just like I like them. And since I had the tubes on as a base, washing it all off was a snap.

    I did not experience any of the clumping that some others complained of, however my one warning would be to not skip the mascara. It is temping to use the primer as a base to your regular mascara but this simply does not work as well, trust me. If you want to apply another (perhaps thickening) mascara on top as I did, use the Beauty Tubes primer, then a quick sweep of their mascara (to cover all the white) and then use your regular mascara – it is definitely worth it!

    Overall, a big thumbs up!

    I have been using this mascara for quite some time now... I don't always use the white end of the mascara as it seems like there is just so much stuff on my lashes, I always end up using the black end only. This mascara actually does what it says! it totally creates a tube around the lashes you have... when you wash it off little tubes come off. I was caught off guard by that. It is an amazing product, not as good if you try to reapply later on. I like the quality of the mascara, it does it's job and I don't ever have to deal with goopy application. I will definitely buy this product again.

    This mascara does what it claims-- It extends! So for those of you with short lashes, it is a really great product to try out! However, if you have even remotely medium-long lashes--Stay away! This mascara also separates the lashes, so if you have long lashes, your lashes will look a little bit like Spider legs. Unless that's the effect you want to go for, perhaps you should skip this product for a day-to-day use.

    HANDS DOWN THIS IS THE BEST MASCARA on the market!! I love this! I wear contacts and always find that if you're out swimming, or tearing up at a wedding, or getting dry-eyes working in the office, that there is a noticable sting when I wear mascara. I have thin lashes, but they are long. I've been looking for the perfect mascara forever. I want my lashes to look natural; I hate stiff, clupmy lashes, but I want them to be noticed. When I use this stuff, I get excellent definition and a lots of extention- the combo rocks the look. I've had more people tell me how long my lashes look since I've been wearing this. There is no 5 o'clock smudge, there is no streaking and no flaking. I've used a lot of different kinds- I don't usually buy the same mascara twice, because there is always something better on the market. But this one I've bought again and again and again.

    I love this mascara! When I used it the first time my lashes weren't as thick as I would like but they were very very long! After about a week of use, the mascara made my lashes much thicker. My favourite part about this mascara is definatly the ease of taking it off. It will stay put and not smudge until you run hot water on it and it comes off so easily! I will definatly continue buying this and reccomend it to my friends.
